AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing medicine bottles lack automatic medication recording functions, making it difficult for patients to determine whether they have taken their medication on time and in the correct dosage, especially for special groups such as the elderly and the blind. In addition, existing counting devices are cumbersome to operate, easily contaminated, and costly, making them difficult to widely promote.

Method used

Design a medicine bottle with automatic recording of medication dosage when the cap is screwed on. By setting a recording symbol on the outside of the bottle, automatic recording is achieved using a passive indicator ring and a ratchet structure on the cap. When medication is taken, the cap is screwed on to rotate the indicator ring, and when it is loosened, it is fixed at a limit to ensure accurate recording.

Benefits of technology

It enables simple and reliable medication records without the need for additional manual recording, avoiding missed or duplicate doses. It is applicable to different medication regimens and can be adapted to different medication cycles. It is low-cost and suitable for people who take medication regularly for a long time. It balances ease of operation and recording accuracy and is suitable for visually impaired people.

Abstract

The present application belongs to the technical field of medicine bottles, and particularly relates to a medicine bottle capable of recording medicine taking automatically after screwing the cap, comprising a bottle body, a passive indicating ring and a cap. The bottle body is provided with record symbols distributed equidistantly in the circumferential direction on the outside. The passive indicating ring is sleeved on the bottle neck of the bottle body and is provided with indicating marks. The bottom of the passive indicating ring is provided with an elastic structure, the inner wall is provided with a one-way pawl, and the top is provided with upper edge ratchet teeth. The bottom of the cap is provided with corresponding pawls. The shoulder of the bottle is provided with ratchet tooth holes corresponding to the number of symbols. When the cap is screwed, the passive indicating ring rotates synchronously with the cap, the one-way pawl enters the next ratchet tooth hole from the previous ratchet tooth hole, the indicating mark switches to point to the next record symbol to complete the medicine taking record. When the cap is unscrewed, the ratchet tooth hole limits the one-way pawl, and the passive indicating ring remains stationary. The present application realizes the functions of opening the cap without recording and closing the cap to record automatically, has a simple structure, is intuitive to operate, can accurately match the medicine taking period, and effectively improves the medicine taking compliance and the medicine taking safety.
